can stressing about pregnancy make your body think that you are?
Question Posted Saturday July 9 2011, 5:49 am
i've heard that stressing about pregnancy can make your body think that you are.
well the problem is that me and my boyfriend were playing around like 2 weeks ago when he precumed a little on my vagina and then fingered me.. so i'm scared that that could've made me pregnant. usually i ALWAYS use a condom and he only went inside me for like 3 seconds. i told him to pull out so he did.. i dont think he ejaculated in me though.
so i've been worrying aLOT that i'm pregnant. i should've gotten my period on wednesday but i didnt :/ my breast hurt a lot but i also get that before a period so i dont know .. i dont have any other symptoms though. and i do get cramping like i do before my period but it doesnt last long and my periods not coming...
i think that i'm pregnant but i've been stressing myself out a lot.. like i've been crying over it pretty much every day since i've missedit. so is that maybe a reason why i've missedit? i'm so scared cause i'm only 17 and if i get a baby now my whole future will be messed up. i'm also so angry at myself cause i'm usually ALWAYS careful except for that one time when i got carried away :(

I just want to add that stress of any kind can cause your period to be late. Also, you are 17. Your period may change at times. if it gets to be about 2 weeks from when you should have gotten it, get a pregnancy test. Until then, relax as much as you can. It might help to talk to your bf about the possibility that you could be pregnant and plan out how to handle it so that you can still have a bright future. This might help ease the stress a little (I know, not much - there really is nothing anyone can say that will help a lot) and then your body might even out.
I had a lot of late periods at your age, and freaked out with most of them. So, I know how you feel. Since you are cramping and such, I think you should be fine. Like I said, give it a bit of time and then get a test if you need to. The tests are generally more accurate the more time has passed. [ blwinteler's advice column | Ask blwinteler A Question ]

(Cause the pregnant female's partner to have feminine hormones, gain weight, develop larger breasts, and basically cause male pregnancy.) This can also happen to you. This is an autonomic reaction being caused by your mind. You think too much about things and they will happen or be close enough to happening. (within reason) I'm not saying thinking will get you pregnant. But it will cause you to feel and seem pregnant. But keep in mind there are false negatives even with top-shelf pregnancy tests. Some disorders actually make people show negative no matter how long they've been pregnant. So I advise going forward and having an actual doctor investigate for you.
